Icon9 Help Pleaseee...

Hi, ive been given a Rolex oyster perpetual date SUBMARINER 1000ft = 300m SUPERLATIVE CHRONOMETER officially certified SWISS MADE
my only problem is i do not no weather or not it is achully genuine ive read all the blogs on the internet but to be honest its confused me more heres what it has
3 dots under the crown on the date/time change
A smooth motion of both the second hand and the seconds hand
A serial number of STEELINOX 62523H 18
Nothing on the back of the watch
its case is the Blue submariner case colour inside colour is abit darker
The only thing that makes me think it might be fake is that the date size i carnt be sure how big it has been enlarged by the bubble but it does not fill the bubble does this mean its a fake? really need advice guys?

The only person that can give you a proper answer is an AD. There are some pretty good fakes these days.

How about Robinsons in Manchester ? You share the same last name so maybe they'll help you out

This type of OP seems sketchy.

I don`t think a counterfeit would get past the TRF experts if you ask me.

I'll step up and say that it's fake right now based on the information given..


A few pictures though, and we can probably sort things out..

Sorry...it's a pretty bad fake. The shape of the case, the angle of the rehaut, the markers, poor cyclops magnification. It is ALL wrong.

I agree - this OP seems to be a sham.

I must say those are the worst crown guards I've ever seen.
